Bell Gardens CA 90202 Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding in Bell Gardens, CA | (855) 263-4605

Dental bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile. During the bonding process, our skilled dentist in Bell Gardens, CA places a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure. Because the resin is malleable and putty-like when first applied, we can shape and sculpt it to fit your tooth and correct flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed, and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration for your smile.

Dental Bonding is a restoration procedure in which a tooth-colored resin is bonded to a tooth and cured with an ultraviolet light. Bonding is faster and less expensive than veneers or crowns, and can thus be a good option to make small cosmetic improvements to your teeth. Unlike veneers and crowns, bonding can be done within one office visit since nothing has to be custom made by a dental laboratory. Additionally, the procedure typically requires removing less of the tooth enamel compared to veneers and crowns. However, since bonding typically doesn’t last as long as other forms of restoration and is less resistant to stains, it is used more often for small cosmetic touch ups rather than major restorations.

90202 Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry | (855) 263-4605

Our dentists may recommend dental bonding in order to close gaps and spaces between teeth, improve misshapen teeth, lighten stained or discolored teeth, or restore chipped or cracked teeth. We will use a shade of composite resin that matches the original color of your teeth for a natural-looking effect. If you would prefer, we can use a slightly lighter shade to whiten the color of your teeth.

Dental bonding is an excellent, highly aesthetic, and long lasting result for repairing, restoring or enhancing a tooth. For more information in the 90202 area on cosmetic dental bonding and how we can help you improve your smile, we welcome you to contact us today.
